List of San Francisco Municipal Railway lines
This is a list of bus and rail transit routes operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway in San Francisco, California.
All Muni routes, except the cable cars, have two parts to the name, and are most often referred to by both, for example, the "1 California." The word(s) on the end generally refer to the street encompassing the plurality of the line. This does not mean that the line runs solely on that street (e.g., the 1 California runs on Sacramento and Clay Streets east of Pacific Heights). Bus and trolleybus lines have number designations, rail lines have letters and the three cable car lines are typically referred to by name only (Powell-Mason, Powell-Hyde and California). However, Muni maps abbreviate the cable car route names to PM, PH and C, and they are given route numbers 59, 60 and 61, respectively, for use within Muni operations. Direction on bus, trolleybus, and rail lines is identified as "inbound" or "outbound" with the inbound direction generally going toward downtown and the outbound direction heading away from downtown. Inbound and outbound directions for crosstown and neighborhood lines is less intuitive.
